Steel jacketed hoses are essential for bulk storage and distribution centers handling molten products like bitumen, hot melts, pre-polymers, and sulfur. These hoses are commonly used in loading and unloading applications. The hose assembly features a flexible core and jacket, and is compatible with a wide range of end connections for easy integration with mating equipment. Heating media options include steam, hot oil, hot water, or other systems to ensure optimal heat transfer.
For systems where jacketed hoses are the last component in a steam-heated equipment train (such as on a loading arm), careful attention must be given to steam supply and condensate drainage to prevent system failures.
Additional critical factors include insulation, mechanical damage protection, operational procedures to avoid process damage, and hose flexibility to ensure safety and performance. Our experts can assist with selecting the best options for various operational conditions, considering working pressures, hose diameters, temperatures, and braid configurations (single- or double-braided). Personnel safety and weightlifting restrictions are also considered for maximum efficiency and compliance.
